Vapore Macchina Insetto

 Even if you had not preordered the figure you can still get them while they last! About 20 or so left. It’s been a long wait but it’s been worth it. The quality of the figure is outstanding. It is also larger in scale then I thought it was going to be. It think it’s just perfect and I’m a very picky person

So I really have been loading up the site with a lot of 2d drawings. I think this is because I do so little of it at work that it’s such a treat. I also have a lot to learn so I keep pushing it and practicing. Here’s an example of my 3d skills. Where it’s actually a combination of 2d and 3d.

2d – Initial sketch, 3d – Low poly model in 3d Studio, 3d – Adding geometry details in Zbrush, 3d – import into Max for final lighting and camera placement, 3d – Render the model with diffuse, zdepth maps, 2d – color over the model, adjust background color.

He’s up for voting at PatchTogether now. The person who gets the most votes has a chance to have the design turned into a resin figure for purchase. Pretty cool.

Heya folks. I’ve been busy drawing away . . . but haven’t posted here. Turns out I’ve discovered “Deviant Art”. I loved putting this site together and filling it with drawing goodness but there was very little way for me to generate traffic here. I’ve moved to DA since there’s a better chance for exposure there. My name is “Polysoup”. So swing on by, “Watch” me and we can enjoy some chatting if you’re so inclined. I’ll try to keep this updated since I do like the site but the other one will get more attention.

Cheers

I’ve always had a soft spot for steampunk that I never really acted on. A couple months ago PatchTogether asked for contest theme ideas for their toy competition. I brought up Steampunk and it was picked

Here are two of my designs. I could really use a vote! (Register with the site then click on the page, scroll down and pick 1-5 and then “confirm”). Hopefully you’ll pick 5

If the designs have a large number of votes in a month’s time then PT might pick the design to move onto “preproduction” where people can preorder the toy. If there are at least 30 preorders then the toy is created. How cool is that??? It’ll be a super limited toy release and certainly a conversation starter at the office

Well here are my two subjects: Vapore Macchina Insetto and SteamFish

“The Burning Giraffe” is the title of a S. Dali painting. I took it to the extreme

The Burning Giraffe

I have a few pieces of art where I start out in 3d then move to 2d to finish up the pieces. A few of them are waiting to be submitted to the PatchTogether Steampunk contest. In the meantime here’s one I did last night just for giggles.

Enjoy! (oh, and I’m testing out a polysoup logo, not sure if it’s working for me or not.)
